I
first heard Pigmeat Markham on the weekly radio show, Blues Before
Sunrise on 90.0 FM in Chicago. I didn't realize he did Here comes the
Judge, back in the 60's. Some might shy away from it in fear of being
racist, but I love the history of the blues which includes the variety
shows and stand-up comedy of the Black theaters. If you love Moms
Mabley, Amos and Andy and Redd Foxx you'll love Pigmeat and his buddy,
Seal. Trouble seemed to find Pig wherever he was. Tune into Blues before
sunrise if you want to sample his work. The show runs from midnight
Saturday until 5 am Sunday. The DJ, Steve Cushing always runs Pigmeat
around 1:20am. What I've found out about Pig is that he was around a lot
longer than I knew. He had a hard life but I would have loved to have
met him once in my life. I've also seen a few videos on Youtube of his
work. Keep in mind, it was a dark time in race relations and the
language isn't always clean and the humor is the same. He made a living
and gave life his best. This CD was probably in the later years but it's
a riot. ~Amazon

Arguably known as one of the very first Rhythm And Poetry* pieces made in
history (1968), 'Here Comes The Judge' brought powerful beats, bass and
vocals to the Soul-Funk dance floors. Its Spoken Rhymes aesthetic would
influence and conquer the World more than a decade after on the Brooklyn
& Bronx neighborhoods. A wonderful landmark for a genre to come.
Feel the Beats, Feel The Bass, Feel the Voice! ~Discogs
* I don't agree with that date or that RAP stands for rhythm and poetry... JimG
